Thanks to everyone who replied. Here are pics of the panel, it is a subpanel in a detached garage/shop. The red and black wires in the upper right are 10 ga for the 220 line. The third white wire from the top is the third wire which is now landing on the neutral bar. The last pic shows the...

OK, will do. Thanks again!

Thanks so much for taking the time to help....what gauge THHN would you suggest to replace the interior wiring? It looks like the current wiring is 8 ga (?)

Forgot to mention that the coil is for either 120 or 220 volts, currently hooked up for 220

Has anyone had experience with aftermarket parts for the 325? Mine is going to need rod insert bearings, gaskets, maybe rings. The aftermarket parts are obviously a lot more economical but I wondered if anyone has put them in service and what their experience has been. Also, does anyone know...
